Addresses challenging issues of care for the chronically ill, including:

• Can we expand the continuum of care to include prevention?
• Can low-tech care be brought into a sub-specializing, highly technical system?
• How much and what kind of evidence is enough to adopt a practice?
• Does the type of evidence we need for approving practices differ when risks are low?
• Who is qualified to practice integrative medicine? And, how do we tell?
